City & State's must-read list of the 50 most powerful people in New York City has been a long standing institution in New York. This year we are looking at each borough and will be debuting our Brooklyn Power 50 list. The July 30th issue will debut at a special reception gathering top brass from government, media, business and beyond for a networking opportunity you do not want to miss. Be the first to know who made the cut and where they are ranked by attending in person to receive the Brooklyn Power 50 specialty publication.

The event will feature remarks from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.

We will also have the special issue focusing on the landscape of Brooklyn politics and featuring industry focuses specific to the borough. Join us for a cocktail reception to mix and mingle with people from the borough and people who helped shape the borough.

Our special issue will also recognize Brooklyn’s ten “Up and Comers” who have been selected from government, business, nonprofits, media and more who are on the rise and are considered ones to watch for future power lists in the Borough and more.
